I heard a few weeks ago that Peter was going to be appearing at the French Towne Square Mall's Grand Re-opening in Monroe, MI. Mind you, Monroe is not exactly the most "happening place". I have no idea how or why this place was chosen. But it was 30 minutes from my house, so I wasn't going to complain!! :)
I had planned to get here before 10 am (when the Mall opened) but my friend was running late, so we didn't get there until 10:15. The line, naturally was already outside the doors and wrapped around the sidewalk. It took us 6 hours to reach the stage where he was. We had heard that there were a few girls who camped in front of the door at 3 am in preparation.
He was scheduled to appear from Noon until 4 pm. But when they saw how many people were there, he agreed to stay until the Mall closed at 9 pm. I guarantee there were still people in line at that time... We are especially thankful that he decided to stay because we didn't reach the stage until 4:15 pm... we would have missed him if he had left at 4.
Naturally, he took time with each person and seemed to enjoy himself. I took my few minutes (or seconds) with him to tell him the story of how we flew across the country to see him in Vancouver. He asked, "Was I there?" "Nope" I replied "You had just left". And I added that I was thankful that he was now only 30 minutes from my house. He replied, "See, I came to you!".
I was in heaven.
I would send the picture of he and I together... but it is definitely NOT my best pic. As hard as I tried to control my absolute glee, I couldn't, and my huge, goofy, teethy smile ruined what would have been the best picture ever!
Here are a few of the dozens that I took.
Enjoy :)
